(SE/30, macIIcx,...). You have to upgrade your macIIs or SE/30 using 4 simms because they are true 32 bit machines (each simms have normally 8 chips (sometimes 9 but parity checking isn't used on the mac), so you need 4 simms = 32 chips (1 chip per bit is required for interleave memory)). So expect in the futur to be the same as the current macIIs are (unless they come with a low cost 68000....) Alain Dumesny---
